[...] Dragon is slated to launch sometime this year on a Falcon 9 rocket. Space X has not yet launched a Falcon 9, but plans on doing so soon. [...]

@ Ivan:

Now, now. I mentioned the possibility of photoshopping, too. But I think it was only an aesthetic touch up — getting rid of an extra spotlight to make the “X” logo.

‘Cause, you know, it’s the pixels.

Playalinda beach and MINWR close three days before every shuttle launch.

The causeway is a public viewing site for shuttle launches and as a VIP site for shuttle and other launches on occasion, but is not open to the public for Delta IV launches, no.

Playalinda is no longer a nude beach from my understanding (there are signs out there last I saw).

By all means, roll out to Port Canaveral or Jetty Park.

As I recall the Causeway is closed for D-IV-H launches.

Shane:
How unfortunate that a flying vulva is so aerodynamically inadequate.

Naomi: My preference is for a flying disc, with large surface area to absorb (ground based transmitter)micro waves for the onboard power. Someday we will have to get away from mere rockets,,,

For folks close to “the cape”, there’s a Delta-4 “Heavy” launch tonight at 7:45pm. http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20090114/NEWS02/901140318/1006/NEWS01
(And they’re rolling out the Shuttle today)
